This example demonstrates a sine wave pattern drawn on an HTML canvas element, showing how mathematical functions can generate visual curves. The wave oscillates vertically across the 800-pixel-wide canvas, centered vertically with an amplitude of 50 pixels and a frequency controlled by dividing the x-coordinate by 50. The visualization uses the Canvas API's `getContext('2d')` method and `lineTo()` function to plot each point incrementally, advancing horizontally by 2 pixels per iteration. A goldenrod border frames the canvas, while the wave itself is rendered with the default black stroke. No external libraries are used; the implementation relies purely on native JavaScript and the HTML5 Canvas API.

Sine wave with line

This example animates a smooth, natural sine wave that undulates across the screen, with a line drawn through its points using a black stroke. The wave is generated from 100 data points, each positioned along the x-axis with a y-coordinate determined by a sine function that shifts over time. Built with D3 v6 in a React framework, the visualization updates every frame using `setInterval` and renders via SVG. The code employs D3’s `line` generator with a `curveNatural` interpolation and animates the wave by incrementing the phase offset `t`.

Sine Wave

This visualization displays a sine wave rendered as an SVG path. The wave is generated using D3.js version 5, with the `d3.line` generator and `d3.scaleLinear` for mapping data points to screen coordinates. The animation updates the wave’s phase over time using `d3.interval`. The example demonstrates how to build interactive, time-based data visualizations with D3’s core modules, including axis creation via `d3.axisBottom` and `d3.axisLeft` for reference lines.

HTML Starter

This example shows a static sine wave path plotted on an SVG canvas, with a minimal setup for animating it over time. The code generates coordinate arrays using a loop and maps them to pixel positions, then renders the line with `d3.line()`. It uses D3 v5 and React, with SVG rendering and transitions prepared via `transition().attr()`. The HTML page loads D3 from a CDN and relies on a separate `bundle.js` for the visualization logic.

LineWave

LineWave renders a stationary sine wave composed of 1,000 white circles connected by a black line, with the animation loop commented out. Using React and D3 v6, the `makeData` function generates points via `Math.sin`, while `visData` employs D3's `line` generator and data joins to create the SVG circles and path. The visualization demonstrates a hybrid approach where D3 handles DOM rendering within a React project, producing a clean, minimal aesthetic against a full-viewport white background.

Line Graph

This line graph example displays a single smooth curve that dips and rises across a blank SVG canvas, tracing a sinusoidal-like pattern from the left edge to the right. The path is drawn with a thick black stroke and rounded line caps on a 781×554 viewBox. The visualization is rendered using React with inline SVG, with the line’s coordinates hardcoded in one path element. No data source or interactivity is present; the example focuses purely on basic SVG path rendering within a minimal HTML page.

Fork of Sine Wave Circles

This example visualizes a sine wave as a row of 30 circles that oscillate vertically in sequence, creating an undulating wave pattern across a 960-by-500 SVG canvas. Each circle’s y-position is determined by a sine function whose phase shifts with time and varies with the circle’s index, producing a smooth, continuous wave animation. The code uses D3 v7’s `range` and `timer` APIs to drive the animation, updating circle positions via selection attributes. It is a direct port of a p5.js sine wave example, implemented with SVG elements and vanilla JavaScript.

Document

A real-time waveform plot on a canvas scrolls horizontally as new random data points arrive, creating a dynamic line graph. The animation updates every 100 milliseconds, shifting the drawing origin leftward and clearing the canvas to simulate an endless stream. Built with the HTML5 Canvas API, it uses `setInterval`, `clearRect`, and `translate` to manage the redraw cycle. The line is drawn in red, showing a continuous trace of fluctuating y-values around a baseline.

Wave Motion

A grid of faint circular outlines fills the background, representing water parcels in a calm state. Overlaid on this, bright dots travel along the perimeters of each ring, rotating in coordinated, wave-like patterns that ripple across the canvas. The animation uses a d3-timer to update the rotation angle for each dot, with position and rotation calculated from the grid index and elapsed time. Two layered Canvas 2D contexts render the static rings and the moving dots, with devicePixelRatio scaling for sharp display on high-DPI screens.
